Bloopers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Bloopers are usually depicted as white squids with a black, mask-like marking on their face. A typical Blooper has ten arms, of which only two are typically used as such, although Bloopers can have more or less appendages. While most Bloopers lack actual squid tentacles, large Bloopers are sometimes shown with them, sometimes in great amounts. Some Bloopers can squirt ink from between their arms, while in other appearances, they are depicted squirting ink from a small mouth located near the eyes. Along with swimming through water, Bloopers have a variety of abilities, such as flying, being able to survive outside of water, burrowing in the ground, shooting globs of ink, and blasting opponents with energy beams. Bloopers can also leap from the water and charge into [[Mario]] and other characters. Their name comes from "bloop", an onomatopoeia for the sound of bubbles breaching the surface of water, acknowledged by how Bloopers use high-pitched warbling to communicate.

They made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and various kinds of them have appeared in most [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' games]] since, normally as enemies. ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' was the first game to feature a Blooper as a playable character. Bloopers come in different sizes and colors, though the original variety shown in ''Super Mario Bros.'' is white and roughly the size of a [[Koopa Troopa]]. They possess varying numbers of arms (ranging from four to up to ten visible limbs) of various lengths, which help them move and are in some of their appearances used directly to attack the player. As shown in some games, like the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Bloopers can survive in and out of the water. The name "Blooper" is a pun on "bloop," an onomatopoeia for the sound that comes from the sea.

Bloobers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' generally in the water levels of the game beginning in [[World 2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2]], where they follow [[Mario]] continuously, although they cannot touch the ground, a drawback that persists in later 2D games. As a result, they move in a regular zig-zag pattern. If they touch Mario, Mario will be damaged. If Mario turns into [[Fire Mario|Fiery Mario]], he can defeat them with a [[fireball]], although invincibility can also dispatch them. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', they are depicted as pink rather than white. A Bloober serves as a [[fake Bowser]] at the end of World 6's castle. It will be revealed to be a Bloober as it falls into the lava if the player defeats it with fireballs.

Bloobers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', having a similar role in both games. They follow [[Mario]] continuously, although they cannot touch the ground, a drawback that persists in later 2D games. As a result, they move in a regular zig-zag pattern. They will inflict damage on contact and can be defeated with a [[fireball]] from [[Fire Mario|Fiery Mario]] or invincibility from a [[Super Star|Starman]]. A Bloober serves as a [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] at the end of World 6's castle, where it will be revealed as it falls into the lava if the player defeats it with fireballs. Bloopers first appear in the level [[World 2-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' In ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', there are Bloobers capable of flying through the air the same way they swim through the water; they act the same way as they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'' The airborne Bloobers can be jumped on for 1000 [[point]]s (Mario cannot stomp on enemies while swimming in early games.) Bloobers share their palette with [[Goomba]]s in these two games; they appear a tan and brown color. Despite being the same coded object, the flying Bloober is considered a distinct type known as a '''Sky Blooper'''.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb2/?lang=en|title=''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|language=English|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-143518/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb2/?lang=en}}</ref>
====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' features Bloobers that can fly through the air the same way they swims through the water; due to Bloobers sharing their palette with Goombas in this game and the previous one, they appear a tan and brown color. These Bloobers can be jumped on for 1000 [[point]]s, with this difference being brought about by Mario's complete inability to stomp while swimming in early games. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', all Bloobers, including the airborne ones, are pink. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', the flying Bloober is off-white. They act the same way as they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'', however, some Bloobers are found in later levels. Despite being the same coded object, the flying Bloober is considered a completely distinct enemy by ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]''<ref name=ESMB>{{media link|ESMB page 27.png|Page 27}} of 「スーパーマリオブラザーズ百科: 任天堂公式ガイドブック」 (''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guide Book'', or "''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia: Nintendo Official Guide Book''")</ref>


In the [[Family Computer Disk System]] version of the Minus World glitch in ''Super Mario Bros.'', flying Bloobers, like the ones in ''The Lost Levels'', appear in [[Minus World|World -3]], an underground-recolored version of World 4-4. Since Bloobers use the exact same color schemes as Goombas, these Bloobers are colored light blue.
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMAS 3-1.png|thumb|Bloober in [[Water Land|World 3]].]]
''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' has normal Bloobers, now half the size they were previously, along with featuring two new types of Bloobers: [[Blooper Nanny|Scattering Bloober]]s and [[Blooper Baby|Bloober Babies]]. Scattering Bloobers behave like an average Bloober, but are followed by three or four Bloober babies. She can send her children in every direction, making it more difficult to swim, and the children will return to her after a short time. Just like in ''Super Mario Bros.'', in this game Bloobers are originally white, but are pink in ''Super Mario All-Stars.''


In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remakes of both games, Bloopers are depicted as pink rather than white, but later changed to an off-white color in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''.
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
{{br|left}}
[[File:Blooperghoul.png|thumb|left|A Blooper from ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
Bloopers, also called '''Gesso'''<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 5.</ref>, reappear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' after eleven years of absence in [[Super Mario (series)|the ''Super Mario'' series]], albeit with a different look. This is the first game where Bloopers are found on dry land, spitting [[Graffiti#Common Graffiti|Goop]]. Spraying them with water stuns them briefly. Mario can simply jump on Bloopers to defeat them. If one of these Bloopers fall in the water, they disappear in a cloud of smoke. After a Blooper is defeated, it will yield a [[Coin]]. Bloopers can be found in [[Ricco Harbor]], the [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]] battle in [[Hotel Delfino]]'s Casino Delfino, and [[Noki Bay]]. [[Jumping Blooper]]s also make their first and only appearance in this game.


====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In addition, special Bloopers that Mario can ride on called [[Blooper Racer]]s appear. These Bloopers do not attack Mario and are owned by [[Big Daddy]]. Green Bloopers are the slowest, but can be steered the easiest. Yellow Bloopers have average speed and average steering. Purple Bloopers are the fastest, but have poor steering. If Mario runs into a wall while riding one of these Bloopers, he will lose a life. Blooper Racers are found only in Ricco Harbor. Mario uses these Blooper Racers to race on a track or collect all [[Red Coin]]s, within a time limit.
[[File:SMB3 Blooper.gif|thumb]]
Bloobers appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and its [[reissue]]s. They are now half the size but behave identically as before. [[Blooper Nanny|Bloober]] with [[Blooper Baby|children]] were introduced, which differ from Bloobers only in that three or four Bloober babies follow behind, or can be released. Bloopers are pink in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, consistent with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' release in the same game.


====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
An extremely large Goop-spitting Blooper known as [[Gooper Blooper]] also appears in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. It is first encountered in Ricco Harbor, where it must be battled twice. Later, it must be fought for a third time when it reappears in Noki Bay.
[[File:SMS Blooper Artwork.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Sunshine'']]
Bloopers, also called '''Gesso''',<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|page=5|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|date=2002}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are encountered in [[Ricco Harbor]] (including dead ones inside of a boat in a few episodes), the [[Big Boo (character)|King Boo]] battle, and [[Noki Bay]]. Bloopers appear on dry land and spit [[goop]] to attack, unlike before. Bloopers are stunned briefly if sprayed with water. water stuns them briefly. A Blooper can be defeated if [[stomp]]ed, releasing a [[coin]]. If a Blooper falls into the water, it vanishes. The game introduces a variant, [[Bloopad]]; a large Blooper boss, [[Gooper Blooper]]; and [[Blooper Racer]]s that Mario can ride.


====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are encountered only in [[World 3-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-3]]. They move identically as in ''Super Mario Bros.'', and they can still be defeated from the same methods as before. [[Blooper Nannies]] and Blooper Babies also reappear in this game.
[[File:3-3 NSMB.png|thumb|Four Bloopers in ''New Super Mario Bros.''.]]
Bloopers reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as uncommon enemies. They only appear in [[World 3-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-3]], though they are seen in large amounts. Bloopers have the same movements as they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and still can be defeated by getting hit with a [[fireball]] or [[Star]]. [[Blooper Nanny|Blooper Nannies]] and [[Blooper Baby|Blooper Babies]] also reappear in this game. There is a variation that avoids the player in one of the bonus rooms.


====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Blooper Screenshot.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Bloopers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they are found in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. If Mario approaches them, they will start chasing him, swimming irregularly, as in the other games. They can even chase him to the surface of the water. If they hit Mario, they will damage him and release ink. Bloopers can be defeated with a [[Spin]] or a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]], but cannot be jumped on.
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are encountered in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]] only. A Blooper chases Mario if he is nearby, possibly up to the surface of the water. A Blooper can damage Mario on contact, also releasing ink in the process. A Blooper can be defeated from either a [[Spin]] or a [[Koopa Shell]].


====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are encountered only in [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-4]] and [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-4]]. Bloopers can hide behind scenery and inside of [[Warp Pipe]]s, quickly launching themselves out at a player character in range. Bloopers are unaffected by [[Ice Ball]]s. Blooper Nannies also reappear.
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' at [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)#World 4-4|World 4-4]] and [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)#World 8-4|World 8-4]]. This game introduces a new ability for Bloopers; they are able to hide behind scenery and in [[Warp Pipe]]s. When Mario passes by a Blooper, it will quickly shoot out of its hiding spot. Blooper Nannies also appear in this game and also have this ability. Bloopers are resistant to being frozen; if hit by an ice ball, they quickly break free from the ice.


====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are encountered in [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]] only. Bloopers are in the deepest body of water that surrounds the largest tower in both missions.
Bloopers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', behaving the same way as in the predecessor. They appear only in [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]]. They are found in the deepest body of water that surrounds the largest tower in both missions.


====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Their movements are slower and less accurate in general. Bloopers can whirl around underwater. They can be defeated from either a [[Ground Pound]], [[boomerang]], fireball, tail whip, or as [[Statue Mario]]. If landed on, neither the Blooper nor the player character is affected.
[[File:SM3DL 3-2.png|thumb|left|A Blooper in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
Bloopers reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', behaving much the same way as they did in most previous games, following the player through the water, albeit slower and less accurate than usual. They also have the ability to whirl around underwater. Bloopers can be defeated with a ground pound, boomerang, fireball, tail whip, or as [[Statue Mario]]. Additionally, landing on them from above does nothing to the player, but the Blooper is not harmed either.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are encountered in [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-5]] only. They are the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
Bloopers make another appearance in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Here, they appear only in [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-5]], but they do maintain the traits that they had in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Bloopers reappear in the [[Wii U]] title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' where they act as they did in the predecessors. They have their own level in this game, [[Blooper's Secret Lair]], which is located in [[Acorn Plains]]. They also appear in [[Tropical Refresher]] in [[Sparkling Waters]].


====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
====''Super Mario 3D World''====
Bloopers appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. In the former game, they are encountered in [[Blooper's Secret Lair]] and [[Tropical Refresher]], while in ''New Super Luigi U'', Bloopers appear only in [[Star Coin Deep Dive]]. Bloopers no longer break free immediately when frozen.
[[File:Blooper SM3DW.jpg|thumb|150px|A Blooper in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Bloopers reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Instead of having their characteristic swimming pattern, they now turn sideways and charge at Mario's direction when they spot him. As in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', they can be defeated with the same attacks and can also be defeated with cat claws. They appear only in [[Rammerhead Reef]], [[Gargantuan Grotto]] and [[Pipeline Boom Lagoon]].


====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:Blooper SM3DW.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Bloopers reappear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They function the same as previous games, except in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style, since they will not spin around when the vocals occur. They can be placed out of water like ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', but always use the original white underwater palette for the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, regardless of location. In the Course Maker, Bloopers can be placed as enemies, and can be shaken to turn into a Blooper Nanny. Like many enemies, they can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] and given wings, the latter of which will make them move much faster. They can be placed in [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Block]]s, and tracks.
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]. They are encountered in [[Rammerhead Reef]], [[Gargantuan Grotto]], and [[Pipeline Boom Lagoon]]. Their movement involves turning sideways and charging at the player character. Bloopers can be defeated from the same methods as in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', with the addition of [[Cat Mario]].


====''Super Mario Maker'' subseries====
Bloopers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style, they attack by turning sideways and charging at Mario.
Bloopers are course parts in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are enemies functioning identically as before in the respective game styles, though in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style of the latter game, Bloopers turn sideways and charge as a form of attacking. Bloopers can be placed out of water, not unlike ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. Bloopers can be shaken to turn into a Blooper Nannies. A Blooper can be made larger from a [[Super Mushroom]]. If given wings, Bloopers move much faster. They can be placed in [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Block]]s, and on [[track]]s.


====''Super Mario Run''====
====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', the player can obtain Blooper Statues as [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]]s in Kingdom Builder mode. They are a 5★ item. Initially available in a ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' event, Blooper Statues have since been made as items from the Bonus Game in the Remix 10 mode. When one is tapped, it squirts a spot of ink onto the screen. The ink wears off quickly.
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Bloopers do not make a physical appearance, but one appears as statue during the ''Mario Kart'' event, with the Banana and ''Mario Kart'' statues.


====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Although Bloopers themselves do not appear physically in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a drawing of one appears on [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s fan when she appears in [[Bowser's Kingdom]].

[[File:SMBSSBloopers.jpg|thumb|Two Bloobers from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'']]
Bloobers, also referred to as Bloopers, appear in two episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'': "[[20,000 Koopas Under the Sea]]" and "[[Mario of the Deep]]". In these episodes, they are portrayed as [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s primary aquatic minions and perform the bulk of his duties. One is described as an octopus and claims he can defeat the Mario Bros. with seven arms behind his back, despite having only six.
 
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bloobers, as well as Scattering Bloobers and Bloober babies, appear in several episodes of the show, such as in "[[Mush-Rumors]]", "[[Oh, Brother!]]" and "[[Recycled Koopa]]". Here, they are common enemies Mario and his allies face, although none of them play a prominent role.
 
===Nintendo Comics System===
Several Bloopers made a small appearance in the [[Nintendo Comics System]] story ''[[Love Flounders]]'', where they are among the group of sea creatures trying to get Mario to become [[Boss Bass#Nintendo Comics System|Bertha]]'s boyfriend, so one of them will not have to.
 
===Nintendo Adventure Books===
In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', some Bloopers try to attack Luigi while he is traveling through [[Water Land]], but he avoids them. Later, some more Bloopers appear in a pool of water Luigi falls into while exploring [[Iggy Koopa]]'s secret lab. The Bloopers spray Sleepy Ink at Luigi, but if he has a [[Frog Suit]] he can deflect the goop. After dispelling the ink, Luigi frightens the Bloopers away by making a scary face, and finds a pogo stick they were guarding.
 
===''Yoshi'' franchise===
====''Yoshi''====
[[File:ScreenYoshi.png|thumb|A Type from ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''.]]
Bloobers make an appearance as one of the six falling objects in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. Bloober's sprite in this game is similar to its sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
 
====''Yoshi's Safari''====
[[File:YoshisafariBlooper.png|frame|left|]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', yellow-colored Bloopers appear as flying enemies who will try to harm Mario and [[Yoshi]] by ramming them; these Bloopers must be defeated by blasting them repeatedly with Mario's [[Super Scope]]. Also of note, the mech built and utilized by [[Iggy Koopa]] in ''Yoshi's Safari'' resembles a large Blooper.
 
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' features Bloopers appearing in early stages of [[World 3 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 3]], where they will try to attack a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] by hopping up and down in bodies of water. Bloopers can be easily defeated by being eaten, hit by an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]], or [[jump]]ed upon. Three of them appear in the Aquatic Enemy Exhibit of the [[Island Museum]]. Eating them won't make Yoshi produce an egg.
 
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
A few Bloopers appear as enemies in [[Spray Day Mayday]], a level from ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Specifically, they appear during the level's [[Submarine Yoshi]] section, where they try to swim into Yoshi in the same way as in previous appearances. Bumping into a Blooper causes Submarine Yoshi to slow down briefly, but the enemies can be defeated by shooting them with a missile.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Bloobers can be encountered as enemies in the [[Sea]] and in and near the [[Sunken Ship]]. An extremely large Bloober, known as [[King Calamari]], also appears as a boss in the Treasure Room of the [[Sunken Ship]]. In battle, Bloobers have low defense but high attack. As such, they can be easily defeated, but can do a good amount of damage. They also use their [[Ink Blast]] ability to do a large amount of damage. Despite being aggressive in most other games, Bloobers have a high tendency to flee from battle.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', several Bloobers appear flying out of [[Mario]]'s television when he is playing [[Family Computer]] at the beginning of the film. Later, a [[Big Blooper|giant-sized Bloober]] makes an appearance, as the apparent guardian of a sunken ship.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', three large Bloopers appear in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]]. Here, they are called "Bloopers" for the first time in-game, as in all previous games in which they were named they were referred to as "Bloobers". The Bloopers guard specific areas; one is guarding the [[Shrink Stomp]] Badge, one guards the upper-West side with the [[Warp Pipe]]s to [[Goomba Village (place)|Goomba Village]], [[Koopa Village]], and [[Dry Dry Outpost]], and one guards the lower-East side with the [[Warp Pipe]]s to [[Yoshi's Village]], [[Shiver City]], [[Rip Cheato]]'s hidden room, and the [[Ultra Boots]]. Which one he fights when reaching these areas depends on if he's fought any of the others yet; Blooper is always the first one seen, [[Electro Blooper]] is the 2nd to find, and the [[Super Blooper (boss)|Super Blooper]] always appears last. While the last two are optional, Mario must obtain the [[Ultra Boots]] during Chapter 6, thus requiring at least one Blooper battle.
{{quote|Eh, go suck on a sewer pipe! I can take you with seven arms tied behind me back!|Bloober|"[[Mario of the Deep]]"}}
Bloobers, also referred to as Bloopers, appear in two episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'': "[[20,000 Koopas Under the Sea]]" and "[[Mario of the Deep]]." In these episodes, they are portrayed as [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s primary aquatic minions and perform the bulk of his duties. The only episode of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' where a Bloober has a speaking role is "Mario of the Deep," where one is described as an octopus and claims he can defeat the Mario Bros. with seven arms behind his back, despite having only six.


====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
The regular Blooper is the weakest and smallest of the three Bloopers in the game. One of its more notable features is that it floats, meaning it will have to be jumped on or have a special attack used on it.
[[File:Bloopers TAOSMB3.jpg|thumb|left|Two Bloobers in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "Mush-Rumors"]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bloobers, as well as Scattering Bloobers and Bloober babies, are enemies in several episodes, such as "[[Mush-Rumors]]," "[[Oh, Brother!]]," and "[[Recycled Koopa]]."

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Several Bloobers appear in ''[[Love Flounders]]''. They are among the sea creatures that try to get Mario to become [[Big Cheep Cheep#Nintendo Comics System|Bertha]]'s boyfriend so as to not be one themselves.
[[File:PMTTYD tentacle screenshot.png|250px|thumb|left|[[Mario]] and [[Goombella]] standing in front of the Blooper's tentacle in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]
A Blooper appears as the second required boss in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. This Blooper's tentacles are blocking the way to [[Petal Meadows]] and Mario has to hit its visible tentacle with his [[Hammer]] or jump on it. This makes the Blooper angry, causing it to attack Mario. During battle, it hangs off the ceiling, leaving the player to attack its tentacles, thus making this the first game in which a Blooper's tentacles are referred to as such and fought separately. After both the L. Tentacle and R. Tentacle are defeated, it will fall to the ground.
 
Although Bloopers do not appear as regular enemies in the Mario sections of the game, they do appear in [[Bowser]]'s underwater level. They are enemies that can simply be taken care of by breathing [[Fire Breath|flames]] at them. After Bowser gets out of the water and is talking to [[Kammy Koopa]], he can be heard saying, "I swallowed a dang Blooper!"
 
[[Luigi]] also has a partner named [[Blooey]], who is a tough Blooper that Luigi accidentally threw into lava during his journey, thinking nothing of it. Blooey supposedly will keep following Luigi around until he gets his revenge, as he states. Blooey appears in Chapter 3. He surprisingly appears in Chapter 8 before the [[Shadow Queen]] is beaten, being darker and more forgiving to Luigi. [[Goombella]] notes that Blooey is a strange Blooper for the fact that he can live on land. However, Bloopers being able to live on land previously appeared in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the original ''Paper Mario'', and ''Super Mario Sunshine''.[[File:BigBlooper.png|200px|thumb|right]]


===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', some Bloobers try to attack Luigi while he is traveling through [[Water Land]], but he avoids them. Later, some more Bloobers appear in a pool of water Luigi falls into while exploring [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]'s secret lab. The Bloobers spray Sleepy Ink at Luigi, but if he has a [[Frog Suit]], he can deflect the goop. After dispelling the ink, Luigi frightens the Bloobers away by making a scary face, and finds a pogo stick they were guarding.
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Bloopers appear as somewhat common enemies in [[The Tile Pool]], where they will attack the player by persistently following them and trying to touch them; as Mario and [[Princess Peach]] have no useful underwater attacks when the Tile Pool is first ventured through, players will need to use a [[Pixl]] or Bowser's fire breath to defeat Bloopers. A very large Blooper known as [[Big Blooper]] appears as a boss in the Tile Pool as well. It uses its tentacles to attack and can be defeated by having [[Bowser]] breathe fire on the red tentacles. Since Bloopers are weak enemies, they deal double damage in the opposite of [[Cheep Cheep]]s.


===''Yoshi''===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Bloobers are falling objects in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. They are depicted similarly to their sprites from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Bloopers in their ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' design, along with their boss [[Gooper Blooper]], appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', once again floating above ground. After one of the [[Royal Sticker]]s fall on Gooper Blooper, it turns him and his Bloopers into hostile [[Poison Blooper]]s that has polluted much of the sea. Some even help [[Kamek]] separate [[Wiggler]]'s body segments. Poison Bloopers can also be encountered as common enemies.


===''Yoshi's Safari''===
====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====

[[File:PMCS Blooper.png|thumb|left|Blooper's appearance in ''Color Splash''.]]
Bloobers appear in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. They are yellow, and their attack consists of trying to ram into the player character. Several blasts from the [[Super Scope]] can defeat them. A large Bloober is the basis of the design of the [[King Gessō|mech]] built and utilized by [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]].
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Bloopers appear as a common enemy in [[Plum Park]], [[Vortex Island]], [[Lighthouse Island]], and [[Fortune Island]]. In the later three, Bloopers are replaced with Boos when Mario enters the Parallel World pipes. In the game, Mario can encounter Bloopers, [[Blooper Stack|Blooper 10-Stacks]], and [[Poison Blooper]]s.


===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

[[File:SMRPG Bloober idle.gif|frame|left]]
Bloopers appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. In the original game, they use the name "Bloober." Bloopers are encountered in [[sea]], near the [[Sunken Ship]], and in one of the Battle Courses in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. One of the game's bosses is a very large Blooper, [[King Calamari]]. A Blooper with kids also appears in a flooded area with [[barrel]]s hiding the entrance to the [[Safety Ring (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Ring]], but Blooper babies are not fought and touching them results in a battle with its parent. In battle, Bloopers have low defense but high attack. As such, they can be easily defeated, but can do a good amount of damage. They also use their [[Ink Blast]] ability to do a large amount of damage. Despite being aggressive in most other games, Bloopers will flee from battle when physically attacked.

He trains to be a master.|author=In-game description|title=''Mario Party Advance''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|date=2005}}</ref> When first encountered at the Beacon, he explains the concept of dueling and duelists, saying that he is training to become a duelist himself. He then asks for a quick duel. If his request is accepted, he is glad that he does not have to train alone anymore. He challenges the player to [[Hammergeddon]]. Blooper mopes when he loses, but allows the player to keep the minigame. He also talks about how the best duelists are found in the [[Duel Tower]] before asking the player to return, saying that he will be stronger.
 
Later, at [[Sushi Cliff]], Blooper is one of the suspects in the case of who dragged [[Shroomlock]] off the cliff and to the ocean. He was one of the witnesses who saw Shroomlock get pulled in, along with [[Dolphin]] and [[Cheep Cheep]]. When he was interviewed by [[Sushi]], he claimed to be an innocent "swimmer-by", crossing his tentacles as he said so. He turns out to be the one who pulled Shroomlock, since he was the only one who was actually able to pull Shroomlock. He then proceeds to apologize profusely before dashing off. The ending credits state that Blooper continues to train and grow stronger.

In battle, they can use their "Blump" attack, swooping towards Mario in an erratic pattern before striking him for a medium amount of damage. They also may squirt ink in Mario's face, although this does not have any extra effects. Bloopers can also use "Bombs Away," in which they pick up a nearby enemy and drop it on Mario, although this defeats the other enemy in the process. Like [[Boo]]s, Bloopers are immune to [[POW Block]]s, due to floating off the ground. Normal Bloopers appear as fishable entities on [[Full Moon Island]] in [[the Great Sea]], including the gigantic [[Legendary Blooper]].

While no Bloopers actually appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', in the [[List of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time pre-release and unused content|early version]] of the game, there was going to be a land-based version of Bloopers wearing shoes, under the name "Scoot Bloop", but it was removed for unknown reasons.

Two Blooper sub-species called [[Dried Blooper]]s and [[Bubble Blooper]]s are also encountered in the [[Pump Works]] in Bowser's body. These enemies are dependent of the water levels in Bowser's body. Bubble Bloopers, encountered when Bowser drinks water, attack by rolling or bouncing. If Bowser stops drinking water, Bubble Bloopers become Dried Bloopers. Dried Bloopers attack Mario and Luigi by floating into them. They also have nearly identical stats to each other, with the exception of the [[speed]] stat.

Although Bloopers do not appear as standalone enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', a new common enemy called a [[Bloopurn]] is found in [[Dreamy Driftwood Shore]]. It attacks by sending three Bloopers that move toward Mario, which can be dodged or countered with a hammer, depending on its attack. Bowser also mentions how [[Antasma]] sounds like a "beached Blooper" in [[Dream's Deep]].

Bloopers also appear as enemies in the game ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]''. After entering the whirlpool in the [[SS Brass]], Mario/Luigi and Toad enter a temple which holds the next [[Music Key]]. A large Blooper guards it, so Mario/Luigi must face it in a dance-off. During the music, Blooper Bop, Mini-Bloopers and the Big Blooper's tentacle are additional steps alongside the standard arrows. Missing the Mini-Bloopers has the bottom of the screen covered with ink, giving Mario/Luigi less time to see the arrows. The Big Blooper's tentacle moves up and must be stepped on so the brother does not lose points.

====''Mario Kart DS''====
[[File:MK8-Line-Luigi-Blooper.gif|thumb|left|Luigi getting sprayed by a Blooper]]
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Bloopers can be obtained from 3rd to 6th place, and CPUs and players also obtain them in 2nd place in VS races. When used, a Blooper creates a large ink blot of all players in front of the user, obstructing players' view temporarily and causing CPU characters to swerve around and drive slowly on courses. More ink restricts a player's view the higher ranked they are. If the Blooper is used while in first place, only the user's view is blocked. The ink can be removed prematurely by using either a [[Dash Mushroom]], a [[Super Star]], a [[Boo]], or a [[Bullet Bill]], as well as from driving on a [[Dash Panel]].
[[File:MarioKartBlooper.jpg|thumb|Yoshi getting sprayed by a Blooper in [[Luigi Circuit (Wii)|Luigi Circuit]] from ''Mario Kart Wii''.]]
Bloopers are used as an item in all main games starting from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. After the player has launched it, the Blooper will create a large ink blot on the screen of all the drivers who are currently in a higher rank than the player, which obstructs the driving view of opponents and causes CPU characters to swerve around on the track (except in Battle mode, as CPU characters will never swerve around on the battle course). The higher rank a player is, the more ink that gets splattered on them. If used while in first place, it will backfire and cause ink to block the driver's screen (except for Team Battles). To get rid of the ink, the player can use a [[Mushroom]], go on a [[Dash Panel]], or wait for it to go away. Also, in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is a medium-sized kart called the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]] that is based on a Blooper. It is also possible to not get blasted by ink when first getting zapped by a Lightning Bolt. This could mean that this is a glitch, however. The racers that are inked also do not vocally react. The only game in the ''Mario Kart'' series where the drivers do not react at all when they are inked by a Blooper is ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The [[POW Block]] is similar to the Blooper in that it only affects all racers ahead of the user.


====''Mario Kart Wii''====
Bloopers seem to be replaced in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'' by a [[Scuttlebug]]-like item that covers the opponents' screens with spider webs. From ''Mario Kart Wii'' onward, the Blooper takes more time to squirt ink than before.
[[File:MKW Blooper.png|thumb|Mario getting sprayed by a Blooper in [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]]]]
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Bloopers can be obtained from 4th to 9th place, and CPUs can also obtain them in 10th place in VS races. Racers in 6th and 7th place have a 7.5 percent chance of obtaining a Blooper, a higher possibility than any of the other rankings. Bloopers are unobtainable for the first fifteen seconds of a race, and using a Blooper requires at least fifteen seconds to pass before another can be obtained. The Blooper was changed from the previous game to take longer to squirt ink. Only one Blooper can be in play at a time, similarly to a [[Thunder Cloud]], [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], [[Bullet Bill]], [[POW Block]], or a [[Lightning]]. Besides the item, the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]] kart is based on a Blooper.


====''Mario Kart 7''====
The Blooper has received a few changes in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Not only does its ink obscure the racers' vision, it also makes the vehicle's handling and drifting more slippery. Furthermore, CPUs do not swerve from side to side, as they do in previous games, thus making it more similar to how the player is affected. [[Piranha Plant (potted)|Potted Piranha Plant]]s can eat the Blooper before it sprays its ink, and the ink can also be washed away if players drive underwater, although the ink will still stay if it hits the player underwater. A Blooper-like shuttle circles around [[Rainbow Road (Wii U)|Rainbow Road]] in ''Mario Kart 8'', and is also used as the track's stamp.
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Bloopers can be obtained from 4th to 6th place, and CPUs can also obtain them in 7th place in VS races. A Blooper is also one of the items part of the [[Lucky Seven]]; if another driver touches the Blooper, the Blooper briefly obstructs their view from a single blot of ink. The Blooper part of the Lucky Seven leaves an ink trail of bubbles if it rotates around the player while [[Underwater driving|underwater]].


====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
The Blooper also appears as part of the [[Lucky Seven]] (''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') and [[Crazy Eight]] (''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''). It behaves the same way as a normal Blooper when used by the player, but if another driver touches it while spinning around the player's vehicle or when it is dropped on the track, it will put a single blot of ink on the opponent's screen. Also, once a player receives a Lucky Seven or Crazy Eight from an Item Box and uses it while underwater, the Blooper rotating around the player leaves an ink trail of bubbles.
[[File:MK8-Line-Luigi-Blooper.gif|thumb|left|[[LINE]] sticker of Luigi getting sprayed by a Blooper]]
{{br}}
Bloopers are items in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They can be obtained when the player is 3300 to 5500 units away from whoever is in first place. A change from before is that Bloopers cause affected racers to have move slippery handling and [[drift]]ing, though CPUs do not swerve from side to side like before. A Blooper can be eaten by a [[Potted Piranha Plant|Piranha Plant]]. A Blooper's ink can be washed away if players enter water or use a [[Cape Feather|Feather]]. A Blooper is part of the [[Crazy Eight]] item. Besides the item, a Blooper-like shuttle circles around [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]], and it is also the track's stamp.
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', after a Blooper squirts ink onto the screen, the player can wipe it off themselves by dragging their finger on the touch screen. Dash Panel and Mushroom boosts can also get rid of the ink like in previous games, in addition to [[Mini-Turbo]]s and [[Jump Boost]]s. In addition, the Super Blooper kart returns in this game. A new golden variant known as the [[Gold Blooper]] also debuts in this game while a kart based on the Blooper space shuttles in ''Mario Kart 8'''s Rainbow Road also appears called the [[Blooper Shuttle]]. The Lucky Seven also returns in the game as the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] of various characters. The player can now repel a Blooper with the [[Super Horn]], which will reward the player with points.


The following gliders in ''Mario Kart Tour'' increase the chance of getting Bloopers and points for hitting racers with one.

They first appear in [[Tropical Island]] as small variations, in [[Room 2-3 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis)|Room 3]]. Initially, they seem stationary, blocking the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Marios']] way, but as the Mini Marios approach them, they jump and hover for a few seconds, allowing the toys to pass underneath them.

Bloopers are opponents found in water-themed levels of ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. Their attribute is Water (which means they are weak to the Wood attribute, but strong against Fire), and they are overall weak enemies; however, Bloopers' related specimens, the [[Blooper Nanny|Blooper Nannies]], are also present in the game and are enforced a bit by their [[Blooper Baby|babies]]. Bloopers attack with ink, and when they are allies to the player, they can use once every 11 turns the "Ink Attack" Skill, which multiplies the player's attack points by 1.5, but reduces their team's total HP to 1. Three [[Cheep Cheep Coin]]s can be used on any Blooper to make it evolve into "Blooper & [[Cheep Cheep]]", and with six more, evolves into "Blooper & Cheep Cheeps". This greatly helps enhance the Blooper's powers.

[[Takko]], a new variant of Bloopers, appear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They do not attack or harm Yoshi, and cannot be defeated or turned into eggs; they can instead be used as springboards. When used in this manner, Takko expel ink, which scares away Shy Guys. Yoshi can also carry Takko in his mouth, and spit them into a new position. However, if a Takko is left in the same position for too long, it will teleport back to its original spot.

Bloopers debut in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]] by appearing as assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In both stage mode and versus mode, their effect is to grant a chance that the initial few [[capsule]]s will be of matching color, in which it is two capsules in stage mode and four capsules in versus mode. In the Clinic Event for both season 10 and the season 4 revisit, a Blooper was featured as a patient.


Additionally, a playable Blooper was added on August 26th, 2020  as a doctor, known as '''Dr. Blooper'''. Its skill is to immediately eliminate [[virus]]es of the most common color, even those that require multiple matches or are contained inside objects such as [[floatie virus]]es or viruses in [[barrel]]s respectively. Its skill is similar to [[Kamek|Dr. Kamek]], but less viruses are eliminated. This skill is represented by the Blooper swimming up and leaving behind ink spots, after which the affected viruses will be covered in ink. In stage mode, the amount is up to two of them, while in versus the amount is 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 for levels 1 to 5 respectively, with the skill meter charging faster at level 4 and even faster at level 5. If there are less viruses or an equal amount of viruses than the skill clears, it will remove every virus of that color. In versus mode, there is a slight delay between the skill's usage and the execution. If no viruses are found in the area while this skill is used, this skill does nothing.
In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Squids are replaced by Bloopers.


===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

Bloopers, originally known as Bloobers,<ref>{{cite|title=''The Legend of Zelda – Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide|page=100|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1993}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. These Bloopers look almost identical to the ones in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, with their proportions most closely resembling the ones in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Bloopers return in the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake where they can also be caught in the [[zeldawiki:Fishing Hole|Fishing Hole]] of [[zeldawiki:Mabe Village|Mabe Village]], while a figure of one can be won from the [[zeldawiki:Trendy Game|Trendy Game]] after clearing the [[zeldawiki:Catfish's Maw|Catfish's Maw]] and placed in [[zeldawiki:Old Man Ulrira|Ulrira]]'s house. The text that appears upon acquiring the figure reads, "''You got a Blooper figure! It's not so menacing outside of the water.''" while its actual description reads, "''It's a Blooper figure. Squids are the hot new thing with kids today.''" a reference to the ''[[inkipedia:Splatoon (series)|Splatoon]]'' series.

They look almost exactly like Bloopers, but have biting jaws on their mantles.

Bloopers are small, white squid-like creatures with a black marking on their face, which resembles a mask. A typical Blooper has ten arms, of which only two are typically used as such, although Bloopers can have more or less appendages. While most Bloopers lack actual squid tentacles, large Bloopers are sometimes shown with them, sometimes in great amounts. Bloopers can squirt ink from between their arms in some appearances, especially in ''Paper Mario'', although in other appearances, such as artwork from ''Mario Kart'', they are depicted squirting ink from a small mouth located near the eyes.


====''StreetPass Mii Plaza''====
Along with swimming through water, Bloopers have a variety of abilities, the first of which, flying, was shown in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and has appeared in several other games since. In ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', Bloopers were shown to be capable of burrowing through the ground, shooting globs of ink, and blasting opponents with energy beams. Bloopers can also leap from the water and charge into Mario and Luigi. This ability is also shown in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''.
Blooper is one of the fish in the ''[[StreetPass Mii Plaza]]'' game [[StreetPass Mii Plaza#Ultimate Angler|Ultimate Angler]]. It is a mystery species on Mythroll Island.


====''AR Games''====
Bloopers seem to have their own language. It mainly consists of derivatives of the word "bloop".
[[File:AR Games Blooper.jpg|thumb|A Blooper in the Fishing AR Game]]

In ''[[AR Games]]'', the Fishing minigame features a [[Lakitu]] fishing and catching a Blooper. The player can also catch Bloopers when Lakitu begins fishing.

In ''{{iw|inkipedia|Splatoon}}'', some images of 8-bit Bloopers can be seen on the walls in various {{iw|inkipedia|stage}}s, such as [[Urchin Underpass]]. In the ''{{iw|inkipedia|Octo Expansion}}'' DLC of ''{{iw|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'', the main platform in {{iw|inkipedia|Footloose Station}} is shaped like a Blooper's sprite from ''Super Mario Bros.''

====''Monopoly Gamer''====
[[File:BlooperDiceMonopoly.jpg|thumb|x100px]]
In ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]'', a Blooper face appears on the "Power-Up Die". A player who rolls a Blooper can normally steal two Coins from any other player. Some characters have a "Power-Up Boost" that enhances or changes this power.
